SHOE-POLISHIN G DEVICE.

To .all whom it may concern: l

Be it known that I, HENRY W. DEnELs,

subject of the King of Great Britain, residing at lNinnipeg, in the Province of Mani-tobaiand Dominion of Canada, have. invented Vnewand vuseful Improvements in Shoe-Polishingcation. I

This invention relates device of that character Devices, of which the following -is a specifitoa .shoe polishing which includes a receptacle in the body thereof for yholding liquid polish that is supplied. as neededh to a spolnge or dauber connected with the receptac e.v c

The invention has for one of its-'objects to improve and simplify the construction'of de` v vices of this character so as to be comparatively simple and` easy to manufacture, easy polish Vv'canbe applied to the shoes Without soiling the fingers or clothing or droppingthev liquid on the floor n A further object of the invehtionis lthe employment of .a polishing brush that is detachably connected with the `c har'nliered body or receptacle of the device so that it can be taken off as desired for-use and secured in positionE when not in unitary article.

Another object of the invention is to roe vide a 'simple meansA for supplying liqui to the sponge and`also`means for reventmg thesponge from becoming dry an soiled.

With these objectsin view and others, as

will appear as the description proceeds, the` invention comprises the various novel fea-*- tures of construction and arrangement of parts as will be more fully described hereinafter and set forth with particularity inthe claims appended hereto. v

In the accompanying drawing, Which illus- *4 trates one of the embodimentsof theinven-lv tion, Figure 1 is a vertical section elevation of the polishing device. I a vertical transverse section thereof. Fig. 3

is a detail sectional view ofthe' meansfor' attaching .the dauber tothe neck of the device. Similar reference characters are employed to designate similar partsv throughout .the several figures of the drawing. 'Referring to the drawing, 1 designates a chambm'ml bodyof any suitable material sha1 is provided at its top near one end with ,a 'holow boss 2 that is'exteriorly threaded io Tecuh'e a tubular n'eck or valve casing3 having its lower end counterbored and,

boss 2 neck orlclas'mg, S'has a vertically extending'bore lLthrough which the liquid polish to .the 'spongeor-dauber 5 secured fm'aaly' suitablelmanner to the neck 3, asfor instance byasheet metal collar that grips thej sponge or'dauber as shown in Fig. 3,

dauber. 1 After the dauber is sufficientl moistened, the cock 8 is turned so as to posltively cut off the supply ofxliquid polish. to manipulate andso designed that liquid To prevent the dauber 5 'from becoming dryror. coated with ,dust when not in use, a a threaded enga ement withthe neckA 3 for completely enve oping the dauber. Obviously, when the dauber is to-be used, the cap 10 is first removed and then by holding the body 1 one hand, the dauber can be rubbed over the surface to be coated with the polish.- 4

' To polishthe coatedfsurface, a dry brush designated generallyby 1 1', isemlployed. The

body 12 of the brush vis provide with a plate 13 4of sheet metal suitably secured to the b ack of the body andjextending at its longitudinal edges beyond v'thel latter. f These extending portions of the plate are bent outwardly in the form vof hooks or semi-cylindrical anges tapped' to engage the external threads-onthe i 14 that are adapted to engage corner beads 1'5dprojecting laterally from the top of the bo y 1. By this means', the polishing brush 1 1 is-connected or disconnected with the body, 1 by a relative sliding movement.l The `curved portions 15 of the plate 1 3 serve as means whereby the polishing brush can be firmly gripped bythe hand when Iused for polishing When the polishing brush i'snot in use, it is in the'position shown, but when it is to be used, vitis removed from the body 1 by sliding it outwardly in a direction away from the dauber.

.I have described the principle ofi-operation of the invention, together with'the device which I -now consider to be "the best em.

bodiment thereof, but I desire tol have it understood. that the device shown is merely illustrative and that such changes may be made when desired as are withinthe scope of theclaims..

Having thus described the invention,

' what I claim is 1. A polishing device comprising a liquid containing Vreceptacle provided with an opening andan externally threaded boss at thersaid opening, a Aneck provided With a passage communicatingsWith` the opening, one end of the neck having a threaded engagement With the boss, a plug-valve controlling the passage of the neck and arranged with its axis at right angles to the passage and removable with the neck for permitting the receptacle to be re-iilled through the opening, and a dauber secured directly to the neck and removable therewith.`

2, The combination of a liquid containingi vessel having a filling and discharge opening,4

and a cap for the dauber secured to the neck' by the said screw thread.

In testimony whereof, l afx my signature in presence of two Witncssesl HENRY XV. DEDElS. Witnesses:
